Brief History Of A Sonnet (Part Two): La Mas Fermosa by Enrique Hernandez-Miyares
In 1992 while Cuban poet Dulce Maria Loynaz was accepting the most prestigious honor for spanish language literature: the Cervantes prize, she ended her speech with the recitation of the sonnet “La Mas Fermosa” by Enrique Hernandez-Miyares (1859-1914). She introduced the poem with these words: “I want to finish with the most beautiful verses that in my opinion have been dedicated to the immortal knight (Don Quijote) who still advances. These verses were written at the beginning of this century by a modest poet whom i knew, and whose name was Enrique Hernandez-Miyares.”
